[Intro] . [Verse 1] Woke up sweating in a traffic jam dream White shirt, red face, broken machine Clock ticks louder than a war drum beat Another day, another boot in my teeth [Interlude] . I paid my dues, now I pay again Smile like a psycho with a fountain pen "Take a number," I take a stand Fuck the man, briefcase in hand [Chorus] It’s a middle finger morning And the city’s got it coming I’m not losing my mind I’m just done running Sick of nodding, sick of lies Now I'm the scream they can't disguise It’s a middle finger morning Now watch me fucking rise [Interlude} . [Verse 2] Plastic food, concrete sun No souls left in anyone Dead-eyed suits, plastic saints Smiles held on with lies and paint [Interlude] . I built the dream, they stole it back Slurping tax like greedy rats Don’t call me crazy I’m just awake They pushed too long Now something breaks [Chorus] It’s a middle finger morning And the cracks are fucking showing You call it violence, I call it knowing What it takes to tear it down When the system kicks you all around It’s a middle finger morning Now hear the silence coming down [Interlude] . [Bridge] All I wanted was breakfast All I wanted was peace But peace is dead in this machine And I'm the ghost beneath the grease [Guitar Solo] . [Breakdown] Snap the line, pull the pin You pushed this shit So let's begin One man war, no reset I’m the one you won't forget [Instrumental] . [Final Chorus] It’s a middle finger morning This world ain't worth adoring Strip it down to bone and grit Power dies when the system's shit It's a middle finger morning And I won't blink when it burns [Outro: Fade Out] .
